Chapter 1004 Desire Mountain

The morning sun rises brightly.

The rays of the sun set on the lakeside, and there were bright lights on both sides of the long road. The long steps painted with sea patterns stretched here. There were monks rising and falling, and there were even more cars and horses passing by on the road.

“Tuk tuk tuk…”

As the sound of horse hoofbeats approached, a young man was seen riding a horse. He was wearing a white robe with a crescent moon lake pattern painted on his sleeves. Although his clothing was not expensive, he looked impressive. He had a brocade bag tied around his waist. He stopped here and saw a man. Door.

This gate has seventy-two bright ridges, is twelve feet high, and has intricate carvings. It is the gate of Milin County [Changxi Gate].

Milin Mountain is the most commendable fairy mountain in the entire Wangyue Lake. There is also a city at the foot of the mountain. Although it is not large in scale and has been depressed due to successive years of turmoil, the [Changxi Gate], which serves as the gateway to the city, connects the north and the south and is extremely important.

Li Suining stopped here and saw a group of people passing by. When he saw him, he immediately reined in his horse. An old man with a mountainous appearance got out of the car. The convoy moved out of the way and said respectfully:

"Meet the adults!"

Shanyue's status in the Yue Kingdom has never been high, and Hushang is no exception. Although this old man is a qi practitioner, his status in Shanyue is definitely not low. You can see his clothes, but he still doesn't dare to block the way. I don't know if his surname is Li. If you don’t dare to call me Young Master, you will call me Sir.

Hundreds of years of education have made them not much different from the people on the lake, except that they have a little more hair and a typical appearance. Li Suining only asked:

"Which guest are you?"

This old man was not young, but he was still kneeling on the ground, holding his white hands on the ground, and smiled respectfully:

"Don't dare... The young one is just a guard, working under the Jade Court. He is originally from Shanyue. Fortunately, he listened to the orders under the command of the great master Ming Fang. Later, he listened to the orders of the master Ming Palace, and his nickname was Du Dou."

Li Suining was stunned for a moment and replied:

"It turns out you are your lord's attendant. You are too polite. Get up quickly."

Li Suining actually had a good impression of these Shanyue. There is still a witchcraft religion in Shanyue today, and the worshiper is [Da He Mingfang], which is his own King Wei.

This matter is not difficult to understand. Firstly, King Wei's destiny was not saved when he was young. Bailin's actions were more important than his own. The conquest of Shanyue left them with too much bright glory. Secondly, it was also the nobles of Shanyue who boasted and improved themselves. means of one's own status.

But everything has two sides. After the fall of Tingzhou, these mountains were still worshiped in private, and they refused to change despite repeated admonitions. The descendants could not hide it after all, and the Shu general Ni Zan removed the obscene worship and built a Jingguan.

"Please also ask the garrison to tell Uncle Uncle when he goes up the mountain that Li Suining has finished visiting his relatives and is waiting for him in the mountain to return to the lake with him!"

After saying this, the old man in front of him raised his head in slight surprise, took a closer look at him, nodded respectfully, and turned to leave.

'The clan gave me a magical medicine, which is quite effective...it actually broke the sixth level of fetal breath in just half a month...'

Li Suining was already at the peak of his fetal breath. His cultivation speed was much faster than he expected, and he was in a good mood for a while.

‘Thinking about it this way, when the Yang clan establishes the country... my cultivation level can be on the second to third level of Qi training. I can at least fly up and down, be able to compete with minor cultivators, and build some ordinary formations. ’

After waiting at the foot of the mountain for a while, I immediately saw a stream of light coming quickly, it was Li Zhoufang!

This middle-aged man was stroking his beard and smiling, and behind him was a young man wearing a ge robe with his head bowed. Lao Shanyue followed at the end. The three of them landed in front of the [Chang Xi Gate] in advance, walked nine steps through the gate, and then listened. Li Zhoufang smiled and said:

"Suining came too soon!"

"Li Chengzai saw that I was now prosperous, so he reluctantly gave me a smile. I was too lazy to deal with him... How could I not come sooner!" Even if I respond to him a few more words, he will borrow spiritual energy from me! ’

Li Suining sighed secretly in his heart and smiled without saying a word. Li Zhoufang immediately understood, changed the subject, and introduced the young man behind him. His face was full of smiles and he seemed to be overjoyed. He only said:

"Come! Let's meet... This is Pu's genius, Ming Xinya."

He said seriously:

"The Pu family has some inheritance. I met with the Pu family and asked carefully. Xinya is a rare genius among them for several generations...God bless Wangyue, another good thing!"

Then he turned his head and said with a smile:

"Xinya, this is Suining, a genius of array formation who is rare in the family for a century. You can ask for more advice!"

The young man saluted and said quickly:

"I've met the young master!"

Li Suining suppressed a smile, nodded and said:

"No need to be polite."

Pu Xinya was his close friend in his previous life, so he was naturally very familiar with him. Although this person's talent in formations was outstanding, what was even more powerful was his talent in cultivation. His cultivation speed once caught up with him, and it was not until he changed to a more superior technique that he could pull it off. Keep the distance, your talent has not been revealed at this moment.

Having been together for a long time in the previous life, Li Suining understood that Pu Xinya was still arrogant and ambitious, as well as the Huzhou tribe's envy of the master's family and desire for independence.

Later, this idea was broken by the boss, and he was let go to Simin to run a shop for two years. After seeing the world, he immediately became honest when he came back. He understood that outside Wangyue Lake, Pu's is just a snack. Except for climbing higher on Wangyue Lake , there is no other way to go.

At this moment, he was still arrogant. Li Suining didn't say much, but frowned and said:

"Uncle, how is Shi Xiu doing?"

"It's harmful! I don't know what the Great Desire Dao is doing!"

Talking about Shi Xiu, Li Zhoufang's smile immediately disappeared, and his expression was solemn:

"Na Maha passed through the wilderness and arrived in Lixia a few days ago. There was no massacre, and he did not even enter the county. He only dispersed the people under his command, each built a temple in the mountains, preached scriptures, and sent people down the mountain. Spread the teachings, and the people are shaken one by one. They are all watching in the county, and most of them have secretly changed into Buddhist monks' clothes..."

He sighed quietly:

"He also built twelve mountains outside the county and planted the Great Good Golden Lotus. Hundreds of silver waters flowed down from the mountains. The people were like leaving the county, taking off their shoes and rolling up their pants to swim in the water. They saw all kinds of bliss and did not know their parents or brothers. More than ten of our people went there, and five of them never came back."

"Jiang Zong gave up on this matter and only drove the scattered cultivators around to see it halfway. It is said that the mountains outside Lixia County have turned into mountains of desire. Men and women are naked, indulge in lust all night long..."

"The families there, such as the Wu family and the Lu family, are really unlucky. Fortunately, they were conquered and many of the younger generation were recruited by the Yang family, so they can still preserve some bloodlines."

The middle-aged man sighed:

"Now... I heard that the Great Desire Dao has passed this place and headed south. I don't know what will happen."

Li Suining sighed when he heard it He had practiced in seclusion in his previous life, and his status was low, so he didn't know much about this matter, but he knew a lot about the subsequent events, and he secretly confirmed it in his heart:

'The Great Desire Path... I heard that it was separated from the Great Admiration Realm in ancient times... Although it also preached the Buddhist land of the present world, its mindset was very different. It claimed that [there is no suffering in the world, that is the Buddhist land], and did not require the people under its command to experience suffering before entering the Buddhist land. They just need to enjoy the birth and reincarnation... [The Great Good Golden Lotus] absorbs the grief, and there is really no pain at all...'

What's even more ridiculous is that among the seven paths, the people of the Great Desire Path have the fastest loss, but they are the best at giving birth to children. After all, the pain is taken away by the [Great Good Golden Lotus]. Giving birth to a child means letting one person enjoy happiness in the world, which is a great merit. Everyone is vying for it, fearing that it is not a girl.

But no matter how absurd this matter was, he knew in his heart that once Da Yudao left this place, this group of people would be a mess that could never be settled:

'This disaster ravaged the entire northern part of Yue State. If Emperor Song removed the [Great Good Golden Lotus], it would probably cause the life span of millions of people to be greatly reduced, and they would not live for more than ten years. No wonder they closed the mountains and banned the worship, first to eliminate the influence of this thing, and then to promulgate the classics, and spend many years to sort out people's hearts bit by bit. '

He thought again and again, and calculated in his heart:

'When I left the retreat in my previous life, this turmoil was almost over, and there was not much loss in my family, so this matter should be fine... I have to go see the boss first. ’

He stood in the wind of his uncle Li Zhoufang and soon landed in the island, but saw the old man shaking his head and laughing:

"Don't mention this... How can you run around the island without someone to run errands? What's more, you usually have to study the art of formation, and time is even more precious. I have a hand here, and you just happened to see him, so I'll run errands for you."

"There are rules in the family. The cultivation of followers is usually not higher than that of the direct line, but you are about to practice qi, so it's not too early!"

Seeing that Du Dou bowed on the ground and kowtowed in fear, Li Suining was frowning and wanted to refuse, but heard Li Zhoufang's voice transmission:

'Just use it, it was arranged by Aunt Minggong, Uncle Chengzai doesn't know how to manage it, and the people in the East Residence are even more shameless. He got the order from the adults and can block it for you outside. Otherwise, if you refuse one by one, it will hurt the relationship between relatives. ’

'She is very busy and can't wait for you, so she asked me to handle this matter. ’

Li Suining’s expression was somewhat complicated. He didn’t rise so quickly in his previous life, so the benefits were not rich. Li Chengzai couldn’t lose face, but now it should be very different. He could only clasp his fists and say:

“Thank you, uncle!”

With Du Dou leading the way, Li Zhoufang didn’t need to see him off for the rest of the journey. Li Suining went all the way to the loft on the high ground. His eyes swept through the loft unintentionally, but his pupils dilated slightly.

A man in gray was hurriedly stepping up. When he arrived at the loft, he knocked on the door with some fear, and then stepped in.

‘Fourth uncle…’

This person is the fourth uncle Li Zhouluo!

Li Suining’s heart slowly choked:

‘Did the fourth uncle live on the lake in his previous life? ’

This fourth uncle Li Zhouluo is not an ordinary person. He is highly valued by the Emperor of Song. He has been the Jingzhao Yin since the day he ascended the throne. As the Li family declined, his position became higher and higher... After the death of King Wei, as the brother of King Wei, although he was not given a higher title, he once entered the Purple Gold Palace to hold the Xuan, accompanied the emperor, and was constantly honored and favored, which was extremely prominent.

If it weren't for the Li family's matter, this fourth uncle Li Zhouluo had always asked for mercy. Li Suining still didn't know what kind of mood to face him now, but even so, his heart was still very complicated.

'Maybe... After Uncle Jiangchun died, this uncle had no grandchildren, and he was holding the Xuan in the Purple Gold Palace under his nose, accompanying the emperor, so he was lifted up and used...'

The lineage of Li Zhouluo played an extremely strange role in the whole trend. Li Xizhi, the elder among the four Xi, took action during the Changhe Rebellion, and a rainbow method shocked the north and the south, but suddenly disappeared after the war and has never been seen since then.

And Li Chenghuai, the father of Li Zhouluo, was a person whom he had only heard of but never seen! Li Suining had never considered this elder in the past, and the whole family was used to the fact that he went out to travel and disappeared. Now it seems strange.

But it is true that this fourth uncle benefited a lot from the King of Wei and his grandfather. He entered the Purple Gold Palace and held the Xuan, and the imperial edict was passed down. After all, there was such a sentence in it:

[Father and brother are sincere, wash away evil and settle the county].

‘There should be clues on this fourth uncle...’

He looked heavy, listening to the court guards in front of him stopping him:

“The adults are summoning others, please wait a moment.”

…

The lights in the attic were dim, and the old man put down the scroll in his hand, took a closer look at the man in gray kneeling in the palace, seemed to be a little confused, and quickly raised his eyebrows and went down to help him up.

Li Zhouluo was a little flattered, but also a little frightened. He was pulled by the old man to sit down beside him. Li Xuanxuan did not return to the main seat, but sat down next to him, took his hand, and asked:

"How is it now?"

Li Zhouluo had been accompanying Li Jiangchun when he returned to the lake. Later, when he was called up by Qingchi, he sent Pang Yun back to Simin. Now it was obviously a risk to rush back to the lake. He lowered his head, feeling a little confused, and replied:

"I don't know what the situation is. Qingchi collapsed suddenly, and Yun Qing was arranged to go to the mountains. I was worried about the clan, so I came back."

Li Xuanxuan shook his head and said:

"It has been fifteen or six years since your eldest father went to Xushan. There was news in the past few years. There will be fewer letters in the future. He wrote back five years ago and said that he wanted to retreat to verify the Taoism. Now there is no news... Has your grandmother given any information? Is there any news about your father?"

Li Zhouluo was speechless for a moment, left the table and bowed, saying in a low voice:

"There were a few letters that came to me... They just asked me to practice well, and my grandmother's family wanted to give me financial aid, but I declined them all... Only a few relatives from my grandmother's family occasionally came to me to give me some advice on spiritual practice. Things…”

Li Xuanxuan nodded, and Li Zhouluo said respectfully:

"It's just that I got news from the south. It was Mr. Yang who sealed one or two pieces of land for me. The location is excellent, in Simin..."

"The younger generation thought that it would be just right to stay at home and open a small market there, which would also be a way to extend our reach further south."

Li Xuanxuan took his eyes away from him, sipped his tea, and replied:

"You are wrong. How can you push the reward given to you by the master to the clan? No one in the family has such an honor except Jiang Liang who obeys the command of the master. You should cherish it."

Li Zhouluo didn't know how to answer him, but Li Xuanxuan asked in a low voice:

"Is there any news from the south? How to deal with this raging fire?"

Li Zhouluo immediately got up from the ground, with a solemn expression on his face, and replied:

"The [Birdfish] is about to arrive in Simin. No matter what, an adult must take action! There are a lot of rumors in Simin. From what I can see, the Birdfish won't be able to run wild for long!"

"You just need to be careful at home. Once the gar fish withdraw from Simin, seize the opportunity to regain their territory."

"oh?"

The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at him, thought for a while, then smiled:

"Is this what Yang means?"
